My Mk2 Ibiza GTi 20VT Track Car Project *The end is here*

[CraigW]

Thanks mate. I'm going to order stickers over the next few days and see what looks best. It's always good getting some inspiration, can't wait to get some of the bits sorted on mine now.

Even though I only have a 1.4 I still get moments of inspiration. Got it quite bad now since I changed the thermostat housing.

I've made a decision today that i'm going to run the original Super T's as my everyday wheels as they've got fairly new tyres on them, then use the MO's as track wheels, and sell the 3 spare Super T's on. The MO's really need new tyres anyway, so i can get something decent to use on track.

The sticker/cap combination will either be silver cap and silver sticker, or, satin black cap and red sticker. Still undecided until my caps come through and are trial fitted on the car.

I could be very interested in one of the Super T's. Could do with a 5th one to put in the boot incase of a puncture or something.

It's being on here that I get most of my inspiration.

Will PM you about the wheel mate.

Get your comps done in anthracite, they will look 10x better on your car.

Haha! I couldn't bring myself to do it Jenk!

They're going to stay black for the moment. When I have some space cash they will go anthracite though.

Buy a tin and see what it would look like

Going to have a workshop day on Sunday with Ben. The aim is to remove the MO's and re-fit the Super T's. Over time, the tyres from the MO's will be removed and and sold on, as 195/40/16 is far too small for my liking. I've sold my other 3 Super T's that I had tucked away in the shed to use as track wheels, so the tyres I had lined up for these will be fitted to the MO's ready to use at the Lydden BHP Show in May. I've got some silver center caps and stickers ready to go on the MO's too.

I also want to roughly get in my head how i'm going to fit my aerocatches to my bonnet, and hopefully make a start on those.

Sadly, the Ibiza is using, or losing a bit of oil so I need to find out where it's going! It is smoking from the exhuast, and smels a bit oily, but i've also noticed a lot of it on the block of the engine.

I've ordered some hubcentric 10mm FK spacers for the back wheels that should arrive in a week or so, and will be picking up something i've wanted for years in a few weeks time

Those tyres may fit the cordy so we may have them

I thought the Cordy had 17's? I'll give you a shout when they're off the wheels anyway.

Ooooo, rare ibiza part?

Oh yes! I was very lucky to get this!

It is indeed Can't wait to get it!

I've got silver stickers now. I'm still tempted to get the wheels done anthracite with red stickers though.

Yea you got in there quicker than me, didn't even think when he had my engine bits off me and I saw his car down at Saxon Motorsport then clicked what could be going up for sale. Think you should do the wheels like that, look good on a silver Ibiza

Luckily I got a heads up from a fellow member. I heard his new one was there getting some work done.

I'll probably wait until the black starts to chipped or gets marked before i get them painted, they're only going to be track wheels anyway.

 

[Dave_R]

Yea, I know his power figure but leave him to say... asked Mark @ Saxon about it not as much as I thought it should be but Mark did say it's very entertaining to drive now!

Car will look get when you get this "part"
